April 14 - 20: The Weekly Talisman

Big forward leaps, the wheel finally feels like it's turning *forward* again

“Europa,” Madame Yevonde

Welcome to The Weekly Talisman! The astrology of the next week is full of change, or at least the initiation of change, as Mercury and Venus are no longer retrograde, Mercury enters Aries, Mars FINALLY leaves Cancer and enters Leo, Taurus season begins… there’s just so much that is new, different, and creating a significant key change in the vibration of our beloved cosmos.

My hope for this week is that old energy that has been weighing on our hearts finally begins to feel cleared out. Stagnation loosened. Old fears soothed. It’s hard to stay stuck in the same place for such a long time, with no visible change on the horizon, or felt within.

The planets in the early part of this year really did not help us feel like we were launching into a new storyline—we’ve been trapped under a wave of planetary retrograde and eclipse energy really since the year began (for nuance’s sake, eclipse began in mid-March, but we’ve been dealing Mars, Venus, and Mercury retro on a rolling basis since January).

And so if this is landing in your inbox and you’re feeling like you just can’t take the current energetic situation much longer, I’m happy to share that things shift this week.

~Reminder~ that next week on April 23rd at 4:30pm EST, I’ll be holding an immersive seminar on Chiron: “The Healer Within: Chiron in Myth and Astrology.” This offering is free for paid subscribers (so entry is $8!) and will cover:

• Chiron’s mythic origin and the archetypal meaning of the centaur

• Astronomical Chiron’s discover in 1977 and how he is incorporated into the astrology chart as a primary planet

• Chiron through the signs, houses, and the meaning of aspects made by Chiron in the natal chart and in transit

• Identifying your own wound and healing gifts via the Chiron placement

• Bonus: Exploring the “Centaur Matrix,” bringing in other centaur asteroids Pholus, Chariklo, Ochyrhoe, and Nessus
